Robert Swanson's photos with the keyword: eclipse

This is made up of some of our still photos of the eclipse, and a video taken by our dash camera. Awesome experience! Composited with kdenlive open source program.

We had excellent weather in southern Missouri for the eclipse on 8 April, 2024. Our previous experience was in 2017, and while the photos were wonderful, I never got a shot at the "diamond ring" effect that year. This, and a few others, were taken at the end of totality this April. The large flare at the very bottom of the disk was seen in a number of our photos. Hand-held at 280mm equivalent zoom, and processed with GIMP. This was the same camera-lens I used in 2017 (nearly the same settings, too.)

Taken with the Panasonic Lumix GX85 at full 140mm telephoto, hand-held. (with Micro 4/3ds it is half-frame, so the 35mm equivalent here would be a 280mm telephoto) I used the same lens and camera settings when we experienced the April 2024 eclipse repeat in the USA.

Series of photos taken with the Nikon D700 and 300mm telephoto, hand-held. This lunar eclipse was seen from Prescott, Arizona on a lovely, cold, night. Composite created with GIMP. (be sure to view on black and at full-sized) More photos at: swansongrp.com/P/p/night_narrative/index.html

11 different images captured of totality, and placed in a composite image. Lots of circles for the Sunday Challenge. Image processed with GIMP.
